Unrivaled Hanover (Bettor’s Delight) won the Open Pace for the first time at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Sunday afternoon when the Jackie Greene-trained pacer went coast-to-coast. The four year old enjoyed a big season in 2024 but didn’t vault into Open company until debuting in the $16,000 feature on Sunday when Jimmy Devaux sat behind the rising star. Devaux piloted Unrivaled Hanover to a 1:53 score when coming from off the pace last week (Apr 27) when competing in the conditional ranks. In his Open debut, Unrivaled Hanover flashed speed and surged through a first quarter in 26.3 before backing it down for a 31 second second-quarter breather. Supported to the tune of odds of 8-5, Unrivaled Hanover completed a coast-to-coast victory in 1:53.1 over a track labeled ‘good.’ Huntanover (Brett Beckwith) sat the pocket to the winner and finished second while Komodo Beach (Wally Hennessey) earned the show spot. Unrivaled Hanover is owned by Kellogg Racing Stables.
